Just got home from Cornerstone Christian Church, God used me to help a bro named Derek go to Africa for missions work. Was a great cause!

Bio
Common Man is a high-energy artist (not performer)genuinely concerned with sharing the Truth of the Gospel in a different way. Time, thought and prayer go into each song... which is made obvious in the "lyrical life lessons" we call music.
Common Man (CM) is somewhat of an oxymoron of Gospel Hip Hop and the name works to spark discussion and promote a sense of value for those with self-doubt and low self self esteem. The message: God uses "common" people. With Common Man, faith meets flow.
About
In referance to style -not content, CM was once influenced by Andre 3000, Rakim, and De La Soul. When the point came to change listening preferences, he began to gravitate more toward the music of Da TRUTH, John Reuben, Thousand Foot Krutch, LA Symphony, and strongly toward Mars Ill. Interestingly enough, as a St. Louis artist... he really doesn't sound like one in many of his songs. Over the years his talents have been enriched and his style has gotten more destinctive. Those changes are easily seen in the timeline progression of music... starting with Element, the 2006 debut release. Since Album one, Element, Common Man has also been included in the Christ Hitmakers volume 1 compilation by Pure Productions in 2007 and invited again to the sequel, Christ Hitmakers volume 2 in 2008. The latest in Common Man's musical timeline is FOCUS, with a few feature artists, more style and most importantly, more gospel. The growth of Common Man has been exponential and on the new project that becomes evident -whether live in performance or on CD.
